Title: getting ready for the season
Post by: rascott on March 28, 2009, 07:42:33 PM
i'm almost ready for my first run of the season. i expect to make a fish run into the sierras(CA)at the end of april.
made a couple of modifications.
i put a winch on the front- smittybuilt xr8, an extra battery, and a HF air pump(my buzzbox took forever).

built a mount to get winch as close as i could.

mounted the solenoid box in the engine compartment.

added a power post, 'cause i put another battery behind the seat.

put in a battery switch.

 put one of those high volume HF compressors in back(and bagged the hose).

i'm excited.

just remembered- i am trying a pacesetter header. i removed the cat. and put a 29"(mabe 27" i forget) cherry bomb glasspack on then another CB muffler 'cause it was way too loud.
looking forward to see how that does.

Any pictures of the winch mount before you put the winch in?
